Can I adjust the Sound or Bass on my Player+ Speaker?Updated 10 hours ago
The Player+ GPS Speaker does not include an internal bass/EQ control. If you want to adjust bass, treble, or overall sound profile, you can usually do so using your phone’s system audio settings or your music app’s EQ while the speaker is connected via Bluetooth.
iPhone/iOS: Ways to tweak bass
Apple Music EQ
Settings → Music → EQ → choose a preset (e.g., Bass Booster).
Headphone Accommodations/Loudness (optional)
Settings → Accessibility → Audio/Visual → Headphone Accommodations (helps shape frequency response; applies to some Bluetooth profiles).
Third-party music apps
Spotify/YouTube Music/Tidal → in-app Equalizer → pick a bass-forward preset or customize.
Tip: Ensure the Player+ is selected as the audio output (Control Center → AirPlay menu) before testing changes.
Android: Ways to tweak bass
System Sound Effects / Equalizer (name varies by device)
Settings → Sounds & vibration (or Sound) → Sound quality and effects / Equalizer → choose a bass-enhancing preset.
Per-app equalizers
Spotify/YouTube Music → Settings → Equalizer → select or tune a preset.
Manufacturer audio suites
Some phones (Samsung, OnePlus, etc.) include Dolby Atmos/Sound effects toggles—try Music or Dynamic profiles for fuller bass.
Tip: If you don’t see an EQ option, search your phone’s Settings for “equalizer” or “sound effects.”
Voice Yardages & App Sounds
Voice yardage volume follows your phone’s media volume while connected.
If voice seems too quiet or loud relative to music, lower music volume briefly, adjust media volume on your phone, then resume.
Troubleshooting sound quality
Re-seat Bluetooth connection:
In your phone’s Bluetooth list, Forget the Player+, reboot the phone, then re-pair and Connect the speaker in the Blue Tees Game app (Devices → Connect).
Try a different EQ preset: Some presets boost bass but can reduce clarity; experiment until vocals remain clear.
Reduce DSP stacking: If both your phone and music app apply EQ, try using one EQ at a time to avoid distortion.
Keep firmware/app current: Update the Blue Tees Game app and your phone OS for best Bluetooth performance.
Physical placement: Bass improves near walls or on solid surfaces; very open spaces can sound thinner.
Frequently asked questions
Does Player+ have a bass knob or in-speaker EQ?
No. Bass/treble adjustments must be made on your mobile device or in your music app.
Will EQ affect GPS/yardage features?
No. EQ only changes audio tone. GPS, yardages, and display features are unaffected.
My music sounds distorted after boosting bass—what now?
Lower the EQ bass gain slightly, reduce the overall volume a notch, or switch to a balanced preset.
